Mother I miss you so much. Life will never be the same. I never appreciated you until it was to late. You never complained about the pain from the cancer, or about being terminally ill at 46. You gave the cancer such a fight. I know we will be together again. I have to believe that so I can make it through another day. All my love Carmen

god looked around his garden and he found an empty place he then looked down upon this earth and saw your tired face. he put his arms around you and lifted you to rest. gods garden most be beautiful. he always takes the best. he know you were suffering,he knew you were in pain.he knew that you would never get well on earth again.he saw the road was getting rough and the hills were hard to climb.so he closed your weary eyelids and whispered "peace be thine".it broke our hearts to lose you but you didnt go alone.for part of us went with you that day God called you home. with love always Ronnie,Mandy,Madison

Dont grieve for me for now im free,I'm followingthe path God laid for me.i took his hand when i heard him call i turned my back and left it all.i could not stay another day, to laugh,to love,to work or to play.tasks left undone must stay that way,i found that peace at the close of the day.if my parting has left a void, thin fill it with remembered joy. a frindship shared,a laugh,a kiss,ah yes,these things i too,will miss.i must leave,for God has set me free. with love always Ronnie,Mandy,Madison

another dead drug addict, but man could that guy play and funny
tune when he was in the mood for it, Joey was a good friend when
he wasn't feeding his needs, but he has been dead over ten years
but as one of the few that remember him still I feel that I should
put this out to the universe as I would hope someone would do
the same for me if the shoe was on the other foot. I has alo
of good times and wrote alot of good songs and who knows if things
had been just alittle different, we might of entertained ourself
around the world and made some records for a few thosand people
to go yaya down the freeway too but like most things that go
wrong this life went way wrong out of control real fast with
no brakes or people to get inj the way of selfdistruction, I
guess it happens sometimes sooner than latter in some peoples
lifes-goodnight dude!?

Stabbed to death by an irate motorist after Steve suddenly braked to
avoid a cat. The assailants are Latinos in their mid-20's. One is
stocky, about 5 feet, 2 inches tall, 150 pounds with short black hair.
Another is 6 feet, 2 inches tall, athletic looking, with black hair shaved
on the sides and a pony tail. The third, also athletic looking, is 6 feet

about the stabbing or the attackers is asked to call Kirby or detective
Sgt. Carlos Miranda, at (408) 277-5283. Those who wish to remain
anonymous may call (408) 947-7867. The crime took place Wednesday
evening, March 20, 1996 on Snow Drive in South San Jose, California.

to eight years old. Steve had the biggest heart and always with a smile.

You gave your life for the ones you love
You gave your life for a sensless need,
Greed!
All you wanted to do was be
DJ Fantastic!
You were there from the start,
and will continue to be in our hearts,
and always on our minds.
When we look up in the sky, we see the clouds,
and we know you're looking down on us, with
No doubt!
We hope you are at peace
Just keeping looking out like you always did.
You weren't just a friend, you were our
big brother.
We love you now and forever!
See you soon.
Amen!

I lost dad just 6 years ago now and am still dealing with it, all I
can do when I start to feel the sadness of his abscence I read his
final statement. Rest In Peace
Safely Home

I am home in Heaven, dear ones;
Oh, so happy and so bright!
There is perfect joy and beauty
In this everlasting light.
All the pain and grief is over,
Every restless tossing passed;
I am now at peace forever,
Safely home in Heaven at last.
Did you wonder I so calmly
Trod the valley of the shade?
Oh! but Jesus' love illuminated
Every dark and fearfull glade.
And He came Himself to meet me
In that way so hard to tread;
And with Jesus' arm to lean on,
Could I have one doubt or dread?
Then you must not grieve so sorely,
For I love you dearly still;
Try to look beyond earth's shadows,
Pray to trust our Father's Will.
There is work still waiting for you,
So you must not idly stand;
Do it now, while life remaineth__
You shall rest in Jesus' land.
When that work is all completed,
He will gently call you home;
Oh, the rapture of that meeting,
Oh, the joy to see you come!

Not much to go on and I am not a very religious type but it
the end what else can you believe in? I love you Dad and
wanted to get your name in cyber space, I sure could have
learned from you dad, and we had so little time to do that!

You are well looked after my little angel. I miss you more than I can say and I could never tell you how sorry I am. Remember me as I will always remember you. I love you sweetheart, more than words could ever say.

As yet another anniversary of your death goes by, I find myself thinking
or you even more than usual. You are never far from my thoughts and when
the geese are flying I know you're looking down at us and wishing that you
can be here with us. The last 7 years have been so hard without you. The
whole family has changed so much since your death. We will never be whole
again. As the rest of us all grow older you will be forever 29. You would
be surprised at the changes that have taken place since you left us. How
the kids have grown. You would be so proud of Nick. He is growing up just
like his dad. A little crazy, But very much loved. Charlie has gotten married
and is expecting a baby of his own. Somehow I think that you already know
all of this. I feel you near us always. Keep watch over us until we are all
together again. You are very loved and missed. Your big sister Panama

There is not a day that goes by when
I don't think of you. When you left
this world, I think that you took a
little bit of every one that you knew.
I remember when Mom was in the hospital,
I came to stay with you and Auntie. You
made me feel like I was one of your own
kids. You brought me to work with you
and made me feel like a "big shot", even
though I probably asked too many questions
and got in the way a lot. Although no one
can take my Dads place, Uncle Jerry, you
were like a second father to me. You are
greatly missed by myself, and the whole
family. You will always have a special
place in my heart.
I love you Uncle Jerry

A wonderful mother, gram, sister and friend. Life gave you a couple of hard
knocks mom, you tried to fight but you lost.We miss you so much mom, 49 is
way to young to go. I hope one day we can meet again In case I didn't tell
you enough... I Love You!! Traci Lee, always your daughter

The day you chose to leave us was a dark day in my life. I wish I could
have showed you how much you were loved. It's been over 4 years, but I miss
you more and more every day. Your smile, your hugs and your laughter are
still close to my heart. I feel guilty for not being at your memorial service,
but I couldn't bring myself to face it. I can't wait to see your smiling
face again. "I tried all night not to break down and cry As the tears
rolled down my face. I felt so cold and empty Like a lost soul out of place."
-Something to Believe In (Poison) God bless. God keep.

know how much you meant to me. i love you your big sister
annie

I don't want to lose you but I'm going to have too. You're being taken away
from me, so far away it makes me scream. Please don't go can't you see that
I love you? Can't you see that? Please love me and stay here with me do
go away. I couldn't bear that. You make me tear up inside and make me hurt
terribly. Please stay, don't go. I love you. And I will always and forever!

Jimmy was my son and a brother to two. He was a vibrant 13 year old and
was always full of life. He was killed on July 30, 1999 in Louisiana. Jimmy
had lived in Richland, MS and Enterprise, MS prior to his death. He was
a wonderful artist who could draw anything you wanted. Jimmy was loved by
everyone who met him. He has 2 remaining brothers TJ and Corey. Jimmy died
along with his best friend, which is the way that they would have wanted
it because where you saw one you saw the other. He was a wonderufl child
and a pure joy to be around. Jimmy loved music and reading also. He is
and will forever be misses by all who knew him. Those that never had a chance
to know Jimmy or Johnny really missed out. We love both of you and miss
both of you terribly but we will be together again.

You were one of the best friends that anyone could have. While I may not
understand your reason for taking your own life, you must have thought of
it as your way out. I will miss you the rest of my life. Your father asked
me to be a pallbearer at your funeral on behalf of the family and although
you may not believe it, real men do cry. My heart goes out to your soul
and the family that you left behind. You are already missed. Your friend
for life, Matt Luke 16:19-31

Beloved wife for 46 years of Roland A. Johnson, loving mother of
Linda, Carol and Nancy, special grandmother of Jennifer, Christine,
Julie, Michael, Laura and John. Great-grandmother of Natalie and
Alex. This brave and courageous woman had more than her share of
health problems and never complained. She lived with M.S. long before
they knew what M.S. was, but the cancer was her final foe. It was
quick and devastating. We all miss her greatly. She was a true
example of courage.

ROBERT ALFRED OLIVER BRUCE JOHNSON. [BOB]. 1929 - 1999. There are several
things that I can say about this man. He was a proper character, a person
who liked to have fun and a person who loved his wife and family dearly.
He doted completely on all of his grandchildren, both at home and abroad
and was always willing to help out if asked by others. A race walker, he
was known as 'The Dark Horse Of Doncaster' to all who knew him at his height
in 1958 in the Sheffield Star Walk. He was fiercely competitive, a keen gardener
and Francophile and always liked a good old fashioned argument. Above all,
I will remember him for everything he has taught me. We are so alike in a
lot of ways, my dad and I. I will always love him and miss him dearly. May
God find some quiet corner of His garden for my dad to find eternal rest
in, especially if there are red roses nearby. He used to say that his initials
stood for Right Ancient Old Beggar. He probably was, but I can never forget
his character and sense of fun. Life was fun to him. May mine be the same
to me. God bless Dad. Your son, Rob.

My baby cousin Seth was just the most adorable babythere could be.
He was only four months old when he died of SIDS, but he did a lot. He
made everyone happyand was a very happy baby. His parents did
everything tomake him happy. But one late night my aunt, his mother,
tried to wake himup for a bottle. But he wouldn't wake up. The only
thing I remember was the phone ringing and my dad getting up and leaving
in the middle of the night. The next morningI found out what
happened. I didn't go to school for three days. But the funeral was
nice, and even though his parents never talk about him, I always think
of him. Like on his birthday he would be doing this, on this day
he would do this. I have never forgotten him and never will. I
will love him forever, even though I never knew him well. Survived by
mother Therese, father Bruce, sister Carly, grandmother Mary Lou, many,
many cousins and family.

My momma What can I say? God only gives you one.My best friend. She
believed and trusted in the Lord Jesus Christ. I pray for her peace.I
love yoy mama where-ever you are I love you and hope you will come get
me when it's my time to go.I look forward to seeing you againThe good
Lord keeps his promises.,

This is our very special double cousin. He's related to us by birth and marriage.
He died of lung cancer on sept. 12th, 1999 and will be missed by all. Love,
Etta, Ruthie, Amanda, Clayton, Nathan, Roy and family, betty and family,
little roy and family, alan and family, jennie victoria and family, kelly
and family, delbert, janice, tim and family, and all the smiths, johnsons,
stiners, johnstons, and spencers who knew and loved him.

It`s hard to explain how I feel about this man,I have never met.A
good man I say to myself for this is how I will believe that he was.TO
CLYDE: you are my bioligical grandfather, I know that you can see me
and that times of been hard on you,I have spent a number of years
pondering over the Idea of what you might be like,you had a son,a very
brave and smart son that did good in life I know you would be proud,
even though you never got a chance to know him. I know he wonders
sometimes why,you had to be apart but he would never admit it.I`am his
son yes your grandson I wish things could have been different,but god
knows best I hope.In my heart in a funny way I love you and miss
you,funny how do you love and miss someone you dont know,I DONT
KNOW. but we do. L kaye Johnstone L k taylor jr. L

im 14 and i lost my grandma a couple months ago.it was unexpected. she lived with us ever since i was born she was home everyday.things werent going good to start with my girlfriend of a year broke up with me then things went down hill i thought about suicide but my grandma and family kept me from doing it. then she fell and broke her ankle and went into the hospital. they found things wrong. something with her blood it had low red blood cells or something. she had a transfusion.it went fine.then they found lumps in her lungs. nobody wanted her to have the biopsy.if she did have cancer it would matter. she couldnt do kemotherepy cause she wouldnt have made it. radiation would burn her skin. because her skin torn and bruised easily.so they did the biopsy.and moved her into the physical therepy building and everything was fine. my mom left at 8 o clock. then at 11:00pm the hospital called and said she was having breathing problems my mom and dad and sister thought it was fine.i was asleep. we've had this happen alot with her. and shes been fine. so my mom called my uncle and they went to the hospital they arrived at 11:45 she arrived a couple minutes later. my mom saw the chaplen coming with the doctor and my mom started screaming and crying they let her and my dad and uncle back to see her. and my mom talked for a minute then said to my grandma" its ok to let go" so my grandma took a couple breaths and died. she died at 12:01 AM. so i woke up and my dad came up the stairs but i guess he wiped the tears before he came up and told me she died. i couldnt believe it. she was all ways there. now shes not. we went to the funeral. and i said bye. i miss her. when i came home from the first day of school no one was there to say how was your day like always. no one does now. i still have had thoughts of suicide. thanksgiving rolled around and we celebrated my moms,sisters,grandmas,and aunts birthday cause they were all born in november. it didnt feel like thanksgiving. there was no turkey smell when you woke up. we went to my other sisters house for thanksgiving. it still wasnt thanksgiving for me. christmas wont be christmas either.i have no grandmas or grandpas. anymore. i wish she didnt have to go now. just one more christmas just one more thanksgiving. we found out she did have cancer that day but the doctor was going to tell her that night. she died not knowing. i miss her. theres a big hole inside me. this house seems empty without her. even if we did sometimes get into fights and yell. i still loved her through it.lifes gotten a lot harder for some of us.i just wish i could have told her i loved her no matter how loud we yelled. she was with us ever since i was a baby she lived with us.im never going to be the same

Nolan-
God, I miss you so much. I wish more than anything I could go back. I told you a million times I'd do anything for you and I failed you that day. I'm sorry, that's all I can say, I'm sorry. I should've been there as a friend for you. I hope that if you're watching me, that you'll forgive me. I still love you and I always will, forever.
Everyone at church is doing good. We all remember you, not that we can ever forgot the man who came and brought life and music to us.
Every day is hard, Nolan. I've got some great friends helping me out, but getting through this is something that I've had to do mostly on my own. God is constantly giving me strength, but it's still hard. Every day I think of you and I know I'll never be the same.
I hope that I will see you again, I can hardly bear the thought of never seeing you ever again. I miss everything about you. I think every day if only I could've had one more day...just one more day, I wouldn't've wasted it.
I'm trying to hold onto the good times, Nolan, trying to remember you that way, instead of sick. Somehow I can only remember you in the hospital though.
I talk to your sister some. She's doing fine. So are your friends. I'm keeping them in my prayers as I know they are for me. It's so hard. Everyone loved you and you left so many people who loved you.
I'm going to keep going Nolan. I'm going to college in the fall and I'm going to get a good job and get married and have a family. I'm going to name my first child after you. It'll be a boy, I'm sure of it.
I wrote a poem, well, I've written a lot of poems, but here's my short one:

A turn of time
A twist of fate
A lot of love
And no more hate
It only takes a second
To take someone away
So we must learn
To live and love each day

I miss you so much. You were the best friend I've ever had, and I just want to say thanks for everything. I owe you my life a thousand times over again. I'll never take even one of the days I spent with you for granted. Thank you so much for everything.
Love,
Mary

My Dad was the kindest man I've ever known. He died of lung cancer in 1992.
There is not a day that goes by I don't think of him. He has missed so much
in my life, I didn't have him to walk me down the aisle when I got married.
My Baby was born in Sept of 97, now my baby will never feel the joy of loving
him. I miss him so much. I know if he could have changed anything in his
life he would never started smoking. He told me that many times. He knew
it would kill him someday and it did. He never lead a healthy life because
of the cigarettes. But he couldn't stop smoking. I miss him so much and
I love him with all my heart. I will never forget you Dad.

Glyn died of throat cancer at the age of 53. He left three children, who he will never see properly grow up. But having said that, I do like to believe he is watching over us. Unfortunatly he will never walk his eldest daughter down the aisle, see his second daughter grow up or buy his son his first legal pint. But I know he will be there for every single situation we go through. We all miss you Dad and everyday is painful without you.
Love you lot's
Amanda, Victoria and Rhys

Shrimpy, you were a great friend and a great person. We all love you
and missyou dearly. You were murdered - taken from us wrongfully -
shot in the middle
of a field and no one but your murderer heard your pain. For months
we could not find you and prayed that you were alive. We all prayed
for you so hard and we pray for you now and hope that you are at peace
in God's light. When we finally found out that you were gone, we
cried in anger, sadness, and relief that we finally knew what happened
to you. Your family and friends packed the walls and the outside
of the little church for your funeral and it was absolutely beautiful.
We think about you everyday and pray that those who did this to you
will come to justice.

To my father whom was loved very much by all who encountered him. Faithful
to the United Methodist Church. I shall never forget you daddy. I loved you
so much that it hurts me to know that you gone but only asleep and at home
with Our Father in Heaven.I love you and so does your family you left behind.

This memorial is dedicated to the memory of Jeff or 'Bowlegged J. A friend
of mine as well as many others, he will be, and is sorely missed by us all.
He will be a constant reminder to me of what society has become today. Another
young black man killed in a senseless murder. When will it end? Love, Kylah
P.

Jeff, this dedication is for you. Jeffrey Jones was a very bright and courteious student at Northern Senior High School in Detroit, MI. He was loved by all of the staff members, students, and parents. He had a personality all of his own with a will to help people to the best of his ability. I remember when I first met Jeff, I was working for the Summer Youth Employment Program and he was also. When I first saw him, I thought that he was just another person. I did think he was cute but I thought to myself "Not my type". So as time went on, our friendship grew into something more and I began to realize to myself that I had developed a crush on him. One night I had the courage to write him a letter and I was going to give it to him the next day but by that time I was informed that he had been killed. Jeff was shot and the reason is still unknown. I wish that I could find out who could do such an awful thing, but I leave the punishing up to God. As I write this memorial, I just sit back and think about all of the conversations and laughs that we shared. It hurts me because I never got a chance to tell him how I really felt about him. I guess now he knows.

Jeffrey was in his junior year in high school when he passed (C/O 1999). He left behind a mother, father, and 9 sisters and brothers. He was an honor student, participated in extracurricular activities such as: Student Council, Debate, Business Professionals of America, Student Government, and he also was employed by the United States Customs. He was as extraordinary young man with a bright future. He will never be forgotten in my heart.

Jeff, I know you are resting in peace right now, and I just wanted to let you know that your friendship and your kindness will never be forgotten.

This is to my brother, who I believe took his own life by a heroin overdose.
Lance,I just want to know why if you felt so unhappy with your life, why
did'nt you call me? Me, the sister who always took you in when no one else
would. I want to believe your finally happy but it's still so hard to realize
im not going to see that goofy face of yours. He would have made a great
daddy if only he would overcome the pull of drugs. What will I tell my boys
Lance? It all seems so strange that the first time I ever told you I loved
you was after you were dead and laying before me in that casket. Please just
know that mom and dad did love you and thought about you every day. We all
never knew where you were from one day to the next, if we had,we would have
made an effort to find you. The big thing Im dealing with now is that im
not so sure I would have tried to find you because of the last time we saw
each other 2 years ago, you made me so angry, therefor I myself did not want
to see or talk to you, if I had would you still be here? I know its a little
to late but I'll say it now. Lance, I love you, rest in piece.

Lori even though it's been years since you were killed by a drunk driver.
You are still always in my prayer and everyday thoughts I Love and Miss you
so much. Your Friend Sharon. Please Dont Drink and Drive!!!!!!

This is a memorial to my mother Margaret Dean Jones. Mom, it's been almost
18 years since you left me to be with Jesus. But it seems like only yesterday.
The pain is still so real to me. You have missed so much. You were only gone
for 7 short months when your first grandchild came into the world. I called
for you many times while I was having him. I wanted you to be there. You
always wanted a grandchild. But somehow, I believe you were there. Then six
years later, I had your granddaughter. You would love her so much. She has
your mouth and a lot of your mannerisms. Tracey is now 17 years old and Whitney
is 11. They have grown up so fast. Daddy is alright,but,he has never been
the same since you left us. He's very lonely. He misses you so much.We all
do.I am glad that you are free from pain now and in the care of Jesus. The
cancer took you from us too soon. We had so many good times left to share.
But I know that we will meet again someday. Until then, you rest easy and
look forward to the day when we will all be together again in Heaven. I love
you mommy. I miss you. Always Your Little Girl,Star.

Mary E. Jones was born in Mannington WV. July 27, 1904 to AI Elbert McIntire
and Sarah M. (Straight) McIntire.Mary E.Jones was my Aunt Mary. Aunt Mary
was married twice first to Howard D, Conaway in the very early 1920's;Aunt
Mary and Uncle Howard had two daughters Evelyn and Grace.Uncle Howard passed
away November 7, 1957. Aunt Mary then married (in late 1958 or early 1959)
to D.Nelson Jones D. D. L.; Uncle Nelson passed away November 12,1961. Aunt
Mary was my mother's only sister to live passed childhood. There were Five
children in all Kenneth, Mary, Millard, Virginia, and Ethel. Millard and
Virginia passed away when they were only children. Although there was an
eleven-year age difference, Aunt Mary and mother were very close to each
other all their lives. Aunt Mary was stricken with polio as a child and (although
she never thought of herself as handicapped) was affected with a "crippled
leg". However she never let her "crippled leg" slow her down
one bit even after falling and breaking it in mid-life, she only enlisted
the aid of a crutch. Aunt Mary was one of the sweetest and kindest persons
I've ever known. She had such kind, gentle, and loving ways; she was truly
a Jewel here on earth. Aunt Mary and Uncle Howard moved to Elyria, Ohio around
1947. There she worked as a telephone operator for the Ohio Bell Telephone
Co. for many years and Uncle Howard worked for the National Tube Co. in Lorain,
Ohio until his death in 1957. For my brother Kenneth and I it was a joyful
time when they would come home to Mannington, WV. to visit. As children Kenneth
and I could hardly wait between visits. Having no sons of their own Kenneth
and I were their "boys" and they "spoiled us with kindness".
Likewise having no daughters, to my mother's their daughters were her "girls".

In loving memory of C.J. Jordan who died the day before he turned 18. he was
my brother, a son to two parents who are lost in this world without him,
and has a son who will never know his love. it's not easy to understand why
god takes the angels and leaves the devils here. and it's impossible being
me without you. my heart cries but nobody hears. memories haunt me day and
night. so much I want to remember, how I try to forget. I buried my childhood
along with you. as the dirt covered your casket, pain covered my soul. a
sister at your birth a sister at your grave.... your sister for always.

In memory of my dear friend Delina. You will forever be in my heart and always in my thoughts . I miss you very much as will all the other girls that were your caregivers over the years . We all came to know you and love you very much and admired you for the courage you had while you had Olivopontocerebellar atrophy that was onset upon you at such an early age and for the courage you had till the very end.

You are truly the most beautiful person that I have ever known and I know that you are with the Angels now. We will miss your beautiful smile every day that always made our days brighter .

( When I Must Leave You )

When I must leave you for a little while,
please do not grieve and shed wild tears,
And hug your sorrow to you
through the years.
But start out bravely with
a gallant smile;
And for my sake and in my name
Live on and do all things the same,
Feed not your loneliness on empty days,
But fill each waking hour in useful ways.
Reach out your hand in comfort
And in cheer,
and I in turn will comfort you
And hold you near;
and never be afraid to die,
For I am waiting for you in the sky!

To my lovely Nan, I never got the chance to be with you near the end to tell you I love you. I hope you have found Grandad and you are happy again. We miss you so much and I am so proud to have you as my Nan and that you were in my life for nearly forty years. I love you with all my heart.
Your loving Grandaughter xx

My darling husband, I miss you so much. My heart aches for you. I wish I could hold you in my arms and kiss you. You meant the world to me. Your love for me was so beautiful and strong. I wish I knew how I can live without you. Your loving wife, susan

She was a great person and will be very missed. She didn't deserve to die, she never did anything to anyone. Jessica was only 14 at the time and was brutally murdered by one of her close friends. God must have had a better plan for her in heaven or he wouldn't have taken such a great person. She may not have made the best choices in life, but she was and is a very precious girl to many people. Because of someone's stupid choice she had to leave behind her 3 sisters Brittany Jordan, Heather Carlson,Her brother Billy Jordan, Her father Don Jordan, her Two mothers, Debbie Jordan & Normandy Siems, and the rest of her great family.
JESSICA IS AND ALWAYS WILL BE IN OUR HEARTS AND IS VERY MISSED! WE LOVE YOU JESSICA.

In loving memory of a son, brother, and father, Jack Joseph Jordan, Jr.
Jackie was killed March 2, 1968 during a Viet Cong ambush a few miles out
of Saigon, Republic of Vietnam. He was a loyal person dedicated to the job
to which he was assigned. He was buried March 16, 1968 in Columbia, MS -
it snowed the next day. Jackie was a wonderful brother who will be forever
in our hearts and prayers. Love always, Janet

Our Father Who Art in Heaven, Your passing has greatly changed our views
and takes on life. But as things change, the more they remain the same.
DADDY WE LOVE YOU AND WE MISS YOU. You will always and forever be a guiding
light in our hearts. WITHOUT A DOUBT. Keeping the faith and always acknowledging
your presence, your children Roxy, Randy, Dez and Bill and all of your precious
grandchildren.

Michelle, You were Daddy's little Princess. One day the angels took you away. I don't know why. But neither the angels nor God will ever know the tears, the agony and the endless love I have for you until the end of time. Tom

To the cowboy, a chef, a star hockey player (in his mind), a friend, a son, the love of a young girl's life, a constant planner, dreamer, thinker, lover, fighter, who had his morals and beliefs in mind at all times...

I miss you more than words can ever express.
Somehow I will go on without you though I do not know how that is even possible yet.

I promise in my next life I will find you sooner.
Wait for me like you said you would.

Dear Joe,
You made the best of all situations. You made me laugh. My best friend.
"Sisters". I know you are still up to your tricks. I miss you
so much. I think of you every day. I'm sorry I wasn't the emotional
support you
needed at the end. I love you. Tell Andy I said hi. Jim and Timmy Lee too.

"I sing because I'm happy. I sing because I'm free. For His eye is
on the Sparrow and I know he watches me." Dearest Nana, How I miss you
so. Your blue eyes lit up a room as did your laughter. I hope to remember
the happier times and am sorry for the pain others caused you. Please watch
over us and keep us safe. Now you are our guardian angel in heaven. I love
you so!

...."with a smile on his face.....with a song in his
heart".... This is the way many people will remember our son..
Todd,our only
son was murdered, for what or by whom we do not know yet! Todd was a loving
son, brother, grandson,uncle and friend to everyone! He was always there
when I needed him, if only to tell him I Love You! We Love and Miss You
so very much!! Our lives will never be the same without you! We know you
are in Heaven and we will join you some day for the Great Reunion!! Love
Ya, Momma, Daddy, Angel, Beth, & Christy...

We think of you in silence.
And often speak your name
But all that's left to answer
Is your picture in a frame.
If we could have one lifetime wish,
One dream that would come true,
We would pray to God with all our hearts
For yesterday and you.
If tears could build a stairway
And heartaches make a lane
We would walk our way to heaven
TO BE WITH YOU AGAIN!
